The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is advising retailers to use caution when stocking veterinary products for horses, following concerns a number of “natural” horse products being sold may not be registered.<\/p>\n

Recently appointed APVMA CEO Dr Chris Parker said a number of veterinary chemical horse products claiming to be natural, organic or chemical-free were not APVMA registered and were therefore illegal to import, possess, advertise or supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe definition of a veterinary product is broad and inclusive under Australian law. This means both natural and man-made substances are regulated by the APVMA if they claim to have a therapeutic effect on an animal,” Dr Parker said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe market for veterinary horse products has expanded in recent years and many new products marketed as natural, organic, or chemical-free may not have been assessed by the APVMA.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a concern because some of these products claim to have a therapeutic effect or enhance the physical qualities of horses, but have not been independently assessed to confirm they are actually safe or work as claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusinesses have a duty of care to make sure the veterinary chemical products they promote and supply in Australia are registered.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He encouraged both retailers and consumers to check product labels for an APVMA approval number.<\/p>\n

Dr Parker also cautioned against buying veterinary chemical products directly from overseas.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because a product is registered for use in another country, does not mean it\u2019s legal to import, supply and use in Australia,\u201d Dr Parker said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
